PARIS: Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice to help Paris Saint-Germain to a 2-0 win against Marseille in the last 16 of the French Cup yesterday as David Beckham made his full debut for his new club.
Beckham had an efficient game, and at times excelled, but Swedish striker Ibrahimovic made the difference as he opened the scoring 11 minutes before half time and then netted the second from the penalty spot after being brought down inside the area just past the hour mark.
It was PSG’s second win against their great rivals in four days and was achieved by the same scoreline.
However, unlike Sunday’s league clash, there could be no question as to which was the superior side as PSG dominated from start to finish at the Parc des Princes. AFP
